Today I learned about "Noodling", which goes on down south mostly in the murky waters or the rivers that are home to huge catfish. They basically go into these rivers walking around looking for holes, stumps and other "tuck-aways" that these male cats protect after the female lays her eggs.
These guys will put their hand down in the hole, using the fingers to agitate the fish and also look like a worm and such, and wait for the bite. As the cat bites they reach in their mouth, grab them by the gills and bring them up...crazy I know! They say it feels like a vice clamping down. Also, that bite could be a cat, or a snapping turtle, venomous water snake, etc.
Here is a video from YouTube that is a segment from the VS network:
